Branding & Graphic Design

Because Marketing Is an Art

It’s not often you see an agency with an eye for optimization AND imagination… But what good is an optimized digital marketing strategy without visual zeal? We’ve got your business covered on both ends of the spectrum: from the mathematical to the mesmerizing.

What’s in a brand, anyway? After all, it doesn’t start and end with just a logo – it’s the most immediate and concise form of expressing your company’s identity. With one glimpse, it should convey exactly what you want people to feel when they think of your business. Make it count.

Our graphic design team isn’t just made up of left-handers who like the color green. We use both sides of our brains to create an unforgettable brand signature that’s equal parts stunning and cerebral. When done right, branding isn’t just a creative exercise – it’s a discipline involving research, analysis, structured management, and implementation.

Here’s how we help you break through the noise:

Our Brand Development Methodology

Phase 1: Getting to Know You

We meet with you to come to an understanding on what your brand is and also to learn more about you. This facilitated session helps identify your key target audiences, perceptions of current brand name and identity, current market position, customer decision-making factors and more. At the end of this session, we will have collected key internal perceptions that will shape your brand identity.

Phase 2: Getting to Know Your Target Market

After securing your insight, we validate your brand perceptions by learning more about whom you are trying to reach with your message. We also evaluate key competitors’ brand positioning to ensure your brand platform is distinctive.

Phase 3: Develop Alternative Creative Approaches

Once internal and external research is complete, we summarize our finding in a creative brief for your approval. When finalized, our creative design and messaging teams go to work. We prepare a minimum of two different creative directions for you to evaluate — including theming, messaging, logos, colors schemes, imagery, photography, etc. We deliver these approaches for your review. Whichever path you choose – you are the final decision-maker in choosing the messaging and visual identity that is right for your company.

Phase 4: Implement On-Brand Marketing Communications

After you’ve selected your creative direction, we deliver a brand visual identity and messaging guide (a style guide) to facilitate brand roll-out in all your communications materials. Beyond the branding package, we can collaborate with you to prioritize implementation of your brand in your corporate communications or take on the creation of any or all of your communications materials.
